Draft Review Worksheet – Literature Review

Author’s Name: ______

Reviewer’s Name: ______

This review sheet is designed to help you analyze your partner’s paper in terms of the concepts we’ve been studying. This may also be helpful in looking at your own paper in revision; read and respond to each question carefully.

  1. In what ways are the articles discussed related and how do they fit the context of the related field study? What connections does the author find between them? What connections could be more wholly explored or explained?
  1. What do you learn about the discussion that is taking place in this field of study/about this subculture? Name three things you learned from the included summaries.
  1. How are these articles related to the author’s field study? Does each offer some clear and relevant information—or is one or more less related? Please identify any article or idea that seems not to fit. How might it?
  1. How is reflection included in this paper? Identify what new knowledge the author presents in his/her conclusion. Give the author one question/suggestion for deeper consideration (for example, name a potential blind-spot or interesting connection you’ve seen but the author hasn’t discussed; if something in the summaries has confused you as an outsider, it may need to be discussed further).
  1. Describe the paper’s organization and the logic behind it. Name one aspect of the organization or development that could be improved or clarified.
  1. Please check the author’s APA or MLA citation for errors.
